Body of missing 8-year-old Jacksonville girl abducted from Wal-Mart found at church

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say the body of an 8-year-old Jacksonville girl abducted from a Wal-Mart has been found at a church.

Charish Perriwinkle had been shopping with her mother Friday night. Sgt. Lonnie Mills of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office tells The Florida Times-Union that the pair was befriended by a man who offered to take Charish to buy a snack.

The man is a registered sex offender. Sheriff's office spokesman Shannon Hartley said Saturday that the 56-year-old man had been taken into custody after officers surrounded his van.
